Hydrodynamics Around Cylindrical Structures (Revised Edition), 9789812700391
Hardcover
Discusses the subject of wave/current flow around a cylinder, the forces induced on the cylinder by the flow, and the vibration pattern of slender structures in a marine environment. This book aims is to describe the flow pattern and the resulting load which develops when waves or current meet a cylinder.
